about

Canonic Suite for Four Clarinets in Bb

Elliott Carter (1908- )

Clarinet Quartet

The Canonic Suite originated as four pieces written as counterpoint exercises for unspecified instrumentation. In 1945, Carter arranged the pieces for saxophone quartet and submitted them to a composition competition. In 1957, he published three of the pieces for clarinet quartet.

The three pieces are entitled Deciso, Allegretto con moto, and Allegro. The first canon, Deciso, is a canon at the unision displaced by a quarter note. The second canon, Allegretto con moto, is a perfect palindrome using inversion, retrograde, and retrograde inversion. The canon, Allegro, is a tarantella displaced by five measures. Each voice enters one whole step up from the preceding voice building in intensity to the end of the piece.
